 <\/p>\n

Every year we hope the holiday season<\/a> will bring us lightness in the heart and the joys of sharing, but these expectations go unfulfilled more often than not.<\/p>\n

The truth is that when you add to your usual hefty load of tasks\u2014traditional holiday shopping, late-night cooking, overeating, holidays card writing, festive email replies and more, there\u2019s barely any time left for enjoyment, contemplation, wonder and love.<\/p>\n

Tools for Better Thinking<\/a><\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

For thousands of years the great sages of India and other spiritual traditions have delivered nearly magical sets of sounds that can shift your mood, heal a hurt, change your breathing, enhance love, calm the heart and more. These sounds have been traditionally called mantra<\/a><\/u>, <\/em>which loosely translated from the Sanskrit means \u201can instrument for auspicious thinking.\u201d<\/p>\n

The effectiveness behind mantras is well known to those who practice traditional yoga. When you give the mind a positive sound for concentration, an unexpected door to peace and quiet opens up.<\/strong> Even more importantly, energy builds in the body and the mind is refreshed.<\/p>\n

Mantras bring you both material and spiritual benefits. \"MIDDLE-MANTRA-BLOG\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While we can find innumerable mantras in the Indian traditions, the most common and well-known is \u2018OM\u2019, for eons considered the primordial sound of creation. Many yogis and mantra practitioners can hear OM in deep meditation.<\/p>\n

Chanting OM after a long and hectic day can prepare you for a sound and refreshing sleep.<\/p>\n

Mantras are available to you at any time you need to feel more centered, they\u2019re sound-based tools for well-being and can be chanted aloud. But when chanted mentally\u2014they have been known to be more profoundly effective.<\/p>\n

It goes without saying that you can mentally chant mantras anywhere and especially on your train and plane trips, or at any time when you are not driving a vehicle.<\/strong> In fact, mantras can temporarily change your consciousness and take you to subtler states of awareness.<\/p>\n

These sounds cannot be used when your intense concentration is required. <\/strong>But they are rescue tools<\/a><\/u> for regaining your peace after work and refreshing your mind during the holiday season.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Happy Holidays!<\/p>\n
